As of the 22nd round of the Chinese Super League (CSL), Shanghai Harbor is dazzling. There is a set of data that you have to accept: the most penalty kicks in the Chinese Super League, but few kicks hurt the opponent. Without further ado, let's talk sense.
As you can see from the chart below, Shanghai is at the top of the CPL penalty list with five penalties, two more than Cangzhou's second Lions. From the champion's point of view, in this penalty kicks list, the second to sixth teams in the current table, except Chengdu Rongcheng, which has only one team, all other teams have two penalty kicks. In other words, Hong Kong has three more penalties than each of its championship rivals. ~ Four penalties. So many penalties still felt insufficient, Wu Lei also made a fuss about a second penalty against Zhejiang.
The number of penalties is as far ahead of Hong Kong as the number of points in the table! However, Shanghai is right at the bottom of the Chinese Super League with data that reflects the team's "negative energy", such as the total number of red and yellow cards. Let's take a look at the red card data (below). Zhejiang ranked first with seven red cards. Hong Kong has two, as does Shandong Taishan, and three teams, including Beijing Guoan, have 0.
The fact that Hong Kong players have so few red cards is disproportionate to the fact that they have played soccer many times. As we all know, many of the main players of the Chinese Super League teams were injured in the matches with Hong Kong, such as Shenhua core Wu Xi, Guoan Yang Liyu, Chengdu Rongcheng core Romulo, tomorrow's Jinmen Tiger players and so on. What's even more frightening is that the main players who played these four rivals in Hong Kong paid the price of 0 red cards, and some of them didn't even have yellow cards.
The referee's downgrading of foul play in the face of Hong Kong players is the main reason why Hong Kong players have fewer red and yellow cards than their competitors. For example, Li Shuai did not even hit a yellow card Zhejiang team's foreign aid, not only did not, the referee also issued a yellow card to another Zhejiang team complained about the player warning. After these operations, the referee even low-profile to Li Shuai extended the "hand of friendship".
Speaking of yellow cards (below). Shanghai is at the top of the Chinese Super League, with only 27 yellow cards in the first 22 rounds, 7 less than Shenhua and Wuhan Sanzhen, who are at the bottom of the table! It's not that Guoan doesn't have red cards, but they have a whopping 44 yellow cards, far more than Shanghai. Even more outrageous is Henan, with 55 yellow cards more than twice as many as Shanghai.
If the number of red and yellow cards per team increases, Shanghai will do their best to finish at the bottom of the table, with the Chinese Super League at least undisputed. Some might argue that Shanghai has the lowest number of red and yellow cards, mainly because the team plays clean and without fouls. Is this the case? Let's take another look at the foul numbers (below). As you can see, Shanghai is ranked third from the bottom in terms of fouls, with Wuhan Sanzhen and Cangzhou Lions ranked lower than Shanghai, both of which have more red and yellow cards than Shanghai.
The numbers speak for themselves. Have you made a profit in Hong Kong? Hong Kong fans are just sophomoric to the end and cannot refute these hard facts. The numbers don't lie, the evidence of examples is laid out before us to disbelieve. Failure to recognize non-existence is a fundamental reason. Seeing this, I ask if you will accept it, will you accept it.
